What Are Curtain Rods?

RODS

As its name suggests, the curtain rod is a solid, cylindrical rod that’s installed above your window frame for the purpose of hanging curtains.

Generally, curtains are installed directly onto the curtain rod itself, meaning that there are no additional parts like you’d see on a curtain runner. For those who do want the elegance of a curtain rod with all the convenience of a curtain track, however, there is the option of adding curtain rod rings for a timeless take on this modern curtain hanging style.

When choosing Rods, Consider the weight and type of curtains you will be hanging. The heavier the curtains (such as lined, or long length curtains) the wider the diameter of pole you will require. Lightweight curtains can be hung on a 16 mm pole, medium weight curtains with a 19 mm pole and heavyweight curtains will require a 28 mm pole.

    16mm – suitable for voiles (light weight)

    19mm – suitable for unlined curtains (medium weight)

    28mm – suitable for lined and blackout curtains (heavy weight)
